@Robert Powell I sure would have liked to see them myself. In 1984 I was 14 and tickets were $35-$100. They might as well of been $1000 cause back then coming up with that kind of money was almost impossible. Living in Flint Michigan we saw some very poor times. Jobs were non-existent. If you got to see them in that Era you were truly fortunate. Seeing them with S Hagar wasn't for me I was one of the fans that felt betrayed. ( By the entire band) That said They headlined Monsters of Rock in 88' and those tickets were $100-$500. If only I came from a rich family! Lol. It's awesome that you were able to see Ed play.

My daughter was born 23 days after Eddie passed and we named her Haelyn ❤️ she is such a wild amazing crazy free spirit too! Proud every time to tell people who we named her after 😍

Three guitarists that totally took the electric guitar into sonic territory never ever heard before-or since!...Jimi Hendrix, Edward Van Halen, Stevie Ray Vaughn. They took different, unique paths into their respective domains. Electric guitar playing is on the decline now, because these three genius guitarists simply covered all the sonic territory that can even be imagined. And on top of all that, these three put on a show when doing their thing! And doing so, their time on this planet became limited...as if they somehow had to pay some kind of cosmic dues, in order to accomplish what they did.

Awesome tribute to the best undisputed guitar player of our time . When ever you saw Eddie Van Halen either play live or watching him on videos you could tell he loved what he did. Very inspirational! RIP Eddie Van Halen .

A world without Eddie Van Halen. When I heard the news, it was like I lost a family member. Except I cried more. If you play guitar and you're not influenced by Eddie, what the hell are you doing? Honestly. Shred in Peace.

I read in an interview where the guy asked Edward why he smiles so much on stage and Ed says " because when I'm on stage playing, no record companies can fuck with me up there", well I guess that can't fuck with him where he is now. Edward you rest any damn way you want to, you earned that many times over 😭

I am literally crying right now. Why did he have to die? I guess heaven needed someone to fill in on guitar. Music among the angels just got a little better and a little wilder. R.I.P. Eddie

I am a bit older but relate to what you say. I was 17 when I saw VH open for Sabbath at a small GA venue. My buddy and I worked our way to around 25' from Eddie (and Tony). I'll never forget that show. Terry Kath had such a great voice. I love Make Me Smile. You've heard of Rick Beato right? His what makes this song great - Chicago episode is a great video to check even if you don't play. It's Make Me Smile and he isolates Terry's voice...wow. It's worth searching out. Another great one he does is for Boston More than a Feeling Sorry to ramble on

Please don't ever let this video disappear.

Holy shit. WHAT A TRIBUTE TO EDDIE. I still miss all of the hard work that he put in to making it look easy. I somehow feel like I know you personally my friend. I know that you're jamming with the angels upstairs, keeping everyone entertained and blown away. Rest in peace Edward, your job was well done. Have a smoke and a beer on me. Peace

First heard him in '79 at a friends house as a kid in a very Christian household where this kind of music was NOT allowed and was Instantly in Awe...Snuck the first album into said house and listened to it from front to back forever until I got caught with it and then listened to it even more...Then picked up a guitar and tried to no avail to play like him...Saw him Live 16 times and was blown away every time...Miss you Sir...

EVH was the best and most influential player of my generation ...he ( ) put the fun back into a stagnant era of rock ....he loved the guitar and all the pleasures it gave... EVH aspired alot of old and new players( myself included) to pick up a guitar and have fun...RIP Eddie

Nuff said. They ALL rode Eddie's coat-tails. If you don't already know that, get a clue is all I can tell ya . It would be Van what? VAN who? Without Eddie. Trust and believe that..

The unsung piece of the action ➡️ Alex.

Fortunate enough to have seen VH 4 times, including the US Festival....7yrs later I'm playing blackjack at the MGM Reno after a VH show, Ed sits down and we play 2$ a hand for 2hrs.....still unreal to this day...thanks Ed, miss you pal !!!

To those of us who had the opportunity to experience this in person we only know now how blessed we were. To those who did not, this tribute really nails the innovation, talent and pure humanity of this beautiful soul.

Great tribute! I was doing air guitar at 56 years old! This was my youth. I saw VH 5 times live. 4 with 1 with Sammy! I saw the best of our time and history will marvel at his amazing talent!

When I heard Eddie Van Halen died I cried all day long and couldn't handle it no more I grew up with Van Halen he won't be missed forever just like Elvis preslie and Jimi Hendrix now he's playing for God I gather he's kicking his ass up there in heaven rest in peace Eddie Your Loved and missed!!

Eddie Van Halen is rockin in heaven now. He had the face melting music and his guitar skills were mind blowing. Talented all the way. RIP Eddie, we miss you. 😢🎉😢🎉❤❤🎉🎉🎉🎉

It is so hard to see your heroes pass away. Knowing there will never be another leaves a gaping hole in your heart.

The greatest of all time. Anyone that disagrees is just wrong.

@@drjs2431 Hendrix took guitar up a notch.. Eddie took guitar up to a different stratosphere. Eddie was a mad scientist! He dissected, explored, recreated and invented.. all while living and breathing guitar, amps and electronics. There will never be another EVH

F that I was around when Hendrix hit the music world in the face with a round house kick where were YOU ??? ,Then there was Frank Zappa playing anything Eddy did years before Eddy craped in a diaper ,hey get an Education you listen to something you haven't heard before because you have a narrow music library listen to Frank Zappa and Roy Buchanan ,or master's of the air waves also John McLaughlin they all did tapping and bending but with no elictricks

Eddie revolutionized guitar playing with every c.d. he was on...

Hands down nobody, but nobody was ever better than EVH! Rock on Eddie, your are the KING!

So glad I got to grow up with Van Halen...can't believe Eddie's gone😢

When Hendrix died Van Halen was born. Only these two have had such a huge and lasting influence on all guitarist the world over. They were cut from the same mold but in a different way, innovation, technique, guitar virtuoso in the highest order. The door has been slammed shut there will never anything like these two again.
